Music website Stony Roads reports Kings Cross nightclub The Backroom has been forced to close its doors due to the impact of the city's lock-out laws.
The architect of the laws, former New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell was tagged in the post. Well, what happened next was a little classless.
The "O'Farrell Laws" force all Sydney city venues to stop serving customers at 3am.
Prominent DJ and anti-lock out campaigner Andrew Levins pointed out the resigning premier may have a future career.
Somebody sign Barry up to every dance music forum so he can burn everyone in the comments
Breaking: @barryofarrell just called an @inthemix writer a "pu55y n00b" for posting new flume remix a month late
You guys have got it all wrong! 'The No Tears Shed' is actually the name of @barryofarrell's new nightclub
But other prominent Australian DJs like Anna Lunoe were outraged at BOF's response.
@barryofarrell @StoneyRoads wow. Nice to know you could careless about the loss of a communities livelihood. Appauled.
The host of Triple J's Drive show Lindsay McDougall was also angry.
And so was local promoter Adam Lewis.
.@barryofarrell @StoneyRoads Wow, what's up with having contempt? This is a small business that's had to close. At least show some grace.
It sparked a long and glorious trolling of Mr O'Farrell.
@barryofarrell @StoneyRoads poor out some grange in memoriam Baz :-(
But @bananaparty @StoneyRoads, why would anyone who gets grange delivered to their door worry about a pleb bar closing?
@adam_lewis @barryofarrell @StoneyRoads assumed the club was called Ear's Shed and baz was showing sincere empathy :/ #NotEarsShed!
It got the awkward hash-tag #notearsshed trending.
#notearsshed is now trending in #Sydney http://t.co/pCmfpRNn0r
@barryofarrell @StoneyRoads of course you wouldn't shed a tear. Your mates in the casino will be raking in the revenue
But it was perhaps musician Alison Wonderland who unleashed the best cathartic rage.
@barryofarrell @StoneyRoads wow Barry. Didn't you get kicked out of office because you're a lying piece of shit?
SHOULD I DO THE NEXT WONDERLAND WAREHOUSE PROJECT AT @barryofarrell 's HOUSE???
